Our content in learning Spanish was very wide. We learnt a lot in a short period of time.
Introducing ourselves and others.eg: Mllamo Noshaviyah Smith , Sellama Melisa Bindranuth.

The methodology of this course have main elements a teachers in classroom could do to enchance their teaching.Our content of spanish main goal in teaching are are objectives. Cognitive – greeting formal and in informal.Saying ones name. The main knowlegde of the course.Affective filter theory-the atmoshere in the classroom must be comfortable and suitable.The children must be able to answer and ask questions freely.Through they may be right or wrong.Cultural-the food ,dance ,clothes , celebretions are necessary to be known. When going abroad it won’t be new but rather familiar with.The knowledge has already been taught.
Children at this stage need to know basic things when ask.Saying their names , greetings, address and telephone number.these would be of interest to the children.
Activities that being provided for these children must be effective.Thyis makes the language fun to learn.Hyperactive children need activities to use that energy.Lets say teaching numbers they can sing and play a ring game.Sing, jumping, running, clapping, talking and all other movements of the sert will be apealing to them.Our T.P.R-Total Physical Respondswould our children retain things.
Our natural approach intellectual where we recognise their ability and talent is important.Using Mr.Gardner Multiple Intelligencecaters for this.Logical mathematical, musical intelligence,visual station ,interpersonal, intrapersonal, verbal linguistic intelligence,bodily knestic s and dramatising.
Using the computer foe this entire course was fun. I have a average amount about the computer but don’t own one.The computer made work easier.Having to travel every other week by relatives to access the internetwas tough.It was fun geeting to develop more in using the computer.This taught me every score in this course count.It was a sacrifice.Learning the harder in getting to the computer helps to know nthe purpose of studying.Its serious so i grab the chance.
The tasks was tidious knowing other courses have to be done.Setting priorities right the tasks was finished.Being responsiblefor your learning pushed me to the max.No relaxiation,but its associate degree programme.No questioning just do it.The task with power point is fun singing making your own song of choice.
My first feelings about the couse was exciting but frightening.I did spanish before in secondary school for three years.At the orientation when Ms. Wilburg talk to us i got scrared.My feelings at present is still exciting wanting to do more but the end is soon.Our different talents were test.Making poppets and our popup book was fun with alot of time into it.The creativity to see every one use various ideas was good.The most honrable thing is that almost the entire administrative body from the college was there to see.Shock to know all of that spanish students in Ms. Wilburg class was doing.
My likes and dislikes about this course varies.Ilike using the computer and doing all task.The due dates and the amount of task to do in the time period always seem impossible.I still meet them.
My overall impression about this course is to know more about the language.Different implications of teaching this foreign langauge.Also having more knowledge about the computer is the aim too.
In conclusion this course should contine to be on the timetable.The source of using the computer should let each student own his/her computer would be fantastic.Great gratitude to you Ms.V.Wilburgfor your time, knowlegde and wisdom.
